Servings: 8 servings
Course: Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/4 cup natural cashew butter
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup mashed, cooked sweet potato (cooled)
  • 4 tablespoons dried blueberries
  • 3 tablespoons roasted, salted cashews (roughly chopped)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Rubber spatula
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Baking Sheet. Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the bark from sticking and make it easier to lift out once set.
  2. Step 2: Mix the Ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the natural cashew butter and coconut oil. Use a rubber spatula to mix them together until smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Add the Sweet Potato. Next, add the cooled, mashed sweet potato to the mixture. Stir until everything is well incorporated and you achieve a uniform consistency.
  4. Step 4: Incorporate the Blueberries and Cashews. Fold in the dried blueberries and roughly chopped cashews. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture for a balanced flavor in every bite.
  5. Step 5: Spread the Mixture. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and use the rubber spatula to spread it out evenly. Aim for about 1/4 inch thickness for a perfect bark texture.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle with Coconut Flakes. Sprinkle the unsweetened coconut flakes over the top of the mixture. This will add a delightful coconut flavor and a nice finishing touch.
  7. Step 7: Freeze to Set. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the bark to set for at least 1-2 hours. This will help it firm up, making it easier to break into pieces.
  8. Step 8: Break into Pieces. Once set, remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Lift the bark off the parchment paper and break it into pieces of your desired size.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
